KL Road Transport Department (JPJ) director Mohd Nadzri Osman told the daily that the current series is ‘WYU’. The final series beginning ‘WYY’ is set to be issued in the first week of September.

The new number sequence is as follows – after the ‘WYY’ series ends, the ‘W1A’ to ‘W9999A’ series begins (then ‘W1B’ to ‘W9999B’, ‘W1C’ to ‘W9999C’ and so on until W9999Y). Then the ‘WA1A’ to ‘WA9999A’ series begins, ending at ‘WY9999Y’. Then the ‘WAA1A’ to ‘WAA9999A’ series begins.

So far, there have been 1,400 ‘WYY’ applicants and more than 5,000 ‘W1A’ applicants, Nadzri said. ‘WYY’ bidding ended last Wednesday; ‘W1A’ bidding is set to end this Monday.

The KL JPJ director added that three types of numbers were up for bidding – popular numbers (four digits), fancy numbers (two digits) and golden numbers (one digit).

“The bidding price for the popular numbers starts from RM300, fancy numbers from RM2,000 and golden numbers from RM10,000,” The Malay Mail quoted Nadzri as saying.

While most dream of the future, Jonathan Tan dreams of the past, although he's never been there. Fantasises much too often about cruising down Treacher Road (Jalan Sultan Ismail) in a Triumph Stag that actually works, and hopes this stint here will snap him back to present reality.

Obviously u have nvr done research on SG plates. In Singapore, their num plates are goin according to system. It means that they are using formulation on the front prefix and alphabet adding up together. Then comp will automatically generate the last suffix at the end of the number sequence.

So why is it superior? Yes, obviously I have never done research on SG plates as I really couldn’t care less about SG cars. I’m from JB and I hate it when I see SG drivers in JB buying ron 95 fuel, diesel, and cooking oil, veges, whatever else from our shores.

Dude, i diao u due to ur knowlegde based on Sg plate. I didnt say anything superior about their plates and certainly i dont admire them. They should admire ppl from KL. as we have better lifestyle and have more richer ppl then them. Are u daft?

Kinda sad to see the WY* series to end, marking the end of the old format. I think so far, the most sought after plate in Malaysian history has to be the WW* and the WY*. Probably beat JJJ which was some time back.

All want to show how kaya they are…other reason no public transport…if have public trans do wan to be sardin (especially not enough cloth girl n yellowman) n oso bus don stop in front of house n do not stop in front of workplace main door.

eh, u dari bandar atau kampung? if u life thru everyday with our worsen condition of public transport. u will noe why KLITES dont wanna take public transport. besides, its dangerous nowadays with alots of crime. When u see a bunch of youngster gathering arounf the station parameter. instantly u will noe its not a right thing to walk-pass them. i think u stil carry on with ur kampung thinking. No wonder Malaysia will not go forward.

The ”W1N” will certainly be the sought after ones by those richy rich people, I wouldn’t be surprise if the bid easily reaches more than 1mil. If I was one of em, I would definately bid for it. In case I won, instead of using it on a fancy ride, I’ll use it for an EX5 or a Kancil for some ”IN YOUR FACE PEOPLE, I JUST BROKE THE NORM” effect.

if JPJ is smart enough, they should use the chance to standardise number plate nationwide.

in those days when there was no computer whatsoever and neither internet connection, the easy way to vehicle registrations were by each states respectively.

UK system of vehicle registration is actually pretty interesting in that ppl can immediately recognise a car registration date.

it is never important that a car was registered in England, Scotland or Wales. same goes to us – does it really matter where the car comes from? i mean we have ppl coming from every places to work in KL. or penang.

govt should also use this opportunity to introduce a change in material, example is Taiwan (if not mistaken) where only govt supplies the plate number instead of accesories shop. this step is useful in curbing crime (theft, robbery, kidnapping) which many will agree with me is increasingly on the worrying side lately.

Government-issued license plates are used in the majority of countries in the world. Accessory-shop-made plates like we use in Malaysia is a small minority, with all the disadvantages that comes with it.

Follow example used in Oz where only Road Transport Authority approved contractor supplies the plate thus drivers have the option to buy novelties plates white various colour schemes but camera readable.
